[USD] Treasuries found downward pressure across the curve following the release of minute from the 30-31 January FOMC meeting. Although these minutes stopped short of explicitly calling for more rate hikes, underlying support for continuing along the Fed's current path was enough to weigh on Treasuries (with a majority of participants noting that a stronger outlook for economic growth raised the likelihood that further gradual policy firming would be appropriate).2/21/2018 8:52:16 PM

[GBP] MPC members don their hawkish mantle

[GBP] Remarks coming from the UK BoE MPC members' testimonies to the Parliamentary TSC on the Feb Inflation report are skewed to the hawkish side and should be viewed as positive for Cable. BoE Gov Carney says the trade-off between growth and inflation has dwindled, adding that the time frame in which to bring inflation back to target has moved in from 3 years, although it hasn't moved in to 2 years, in the MPC's collective view. Dep Gov Broadbent says further increases in the Bank Rate to above 0.50% are likely to be required, albeit gradually and to a limited extent. He also points out that wage growth is picking up, and adds that the squeeze on households' real take home pay is past its worst. Chief Economist Haldane says since Nov the UK economy is somewhat stronger and infers that the economy only need grow at around last year's growth rate for further rate increases to be justified. Fellow MPC member Tenreyro says the tightening of interest rates is likely to be stronger than was anticipated in Nov. - Reuters. - IDEA: We remain with the view that the next change in interest rates will likely occur in May. Cable should try to revisit 1.4000 soon.
